Reviews of K-State Insect Zoo (Zoo)

Gloria Mattison

So much fun to be had. A lot of really cool bugs and so much information available. And the people who work here know so much. Definitely will be back plenty of times.

My daughter loves coming here to visit. It is fairly small, but they do a nice job of putting a lot in a small area. It is well maintained and there are great learning materials to help kiddos learn about insects! It is also within the Kstate gardens which is really nice!

If you are a collector of tarantulas they have a good selection. They are very knowledgeable about them as well. Plus they have an entire zoo of insects how cool is that.

Cool display of bugs.

If you only have a little time in Manhattan and are looking for something fun to do - GO HERE!! I visited with my husband and our moms for a low-key Friday afternoon activity. The staff member was incredibly knowledgable and obviously loved her job! It's a small "zoo" but there are tons of insects of all kinds there. They charge $3 to cover food and care for the critters and it's well worth it. Our favorite was the bee hive with glass panes so you can watch EVERYTHING! Super cool!

Most of these creatures are alive

Great for any age group of children. Variety of displays available to view for each group of insects. Staff was very friendly and answered tons of questions the kids had. Beautiful garden paths and fountains surround the building as well.

David Borrero

It was a very good time. Many alive infects

Fun little place to visit.

Manuel Bou

I think it was cool. My baby girl wanted to grab all of them, my oldest son wanted to run away like a sissy and I was impressed to see some species I haven't seen before. If you dont mind free roaming roaches then you'll love this place.

The K-STATE insect zoo is one of a kind in the Midwest. It houses several different live insect exhibits and plenty of preserved insects as well. It even has a replica of a prehistoric dragonfly wing found locally! The zoo staff are attentive, nice and knowledgeable.

E BARNES

This tiny place was amazing!! Even my 17 month old toddler enjoyed looking at all the bugs!! Definitely worth checking out if your in Manhattan.

Emily Cartagena

Such a neat place! The hostess was lovely and patient with kids and answered all our questions!

Derek Schneweis

This place is great for all people who enjoy creepy crawlies. It is even better for those who want to learn that bugs are not so scary. Very educational collection and skilled teachers. This is also where I met my tarantula! She has been with me for many years now and she started off so small! A must see Zoo!

Christine Knabe

Great little museum. Very informative and great for kids!

Damon Dauser

great place, learned a lot

Janelle Neptune

So amazing and gross all in one!

Alison Voshell

What a neat little niche zoo! Staff was pleasant, the grounds are gorgeous, and the zoo itself is really interesting. I especially enjoyed the mock kitchen, in which you open drawers, cabinets, etc to find insects that are common in our homes! Such a cool idea. I could be wrong, but I think they had a G. pulchripes marked as a G. pulchra, though to be fair, there's quite a bit of confusion currently swirling around pulchras.

Matthew Dicke

If you like insects, this is a must see! Otherwise stay in the nice gardens around the greenhouses.

Very interesting exhibit, worth the price of admission. Plus, you can adopt your own baby tarantula.

We have done a tour inside a d my kids loved it. We recently had family pictures done outside, at the gardens and everything was beautiful!

Joe K

A great place to bring the family! If you are curious about insects and want to see exotic and native species, this is the place to go. Awesome displays of leaf-litter decomposers, creek aquarium, and desert swellers. Lots of books and games to play.

It's small but good to visit if you are into insects and creepy things

Angelo Canassa

Great for insect lovers and the employees are very helpful

Matt Hamblin

I might be a bit biased as an entomologist, but I love going to the insect zoo. The live specimens are by far my favorites and I can spend hours sitting there watching the amazing bunch of insects that they have.

Mohammad Asif

It's a great place for kids to see insects in action and offers a chance to interact with creepy bugs.

Joseph Lawhorn

If you like science or insects, this place is fun. It makes a great additional visit when you are already in town for the Sunset Zoo. The staff is knowledgeable and polite. There are lots of interesting exhibits and things for kids to interact with. And around the building is KState's beautiful gardens.

Dave Friedl
